the_o virtue_n of_o christ_n his_o resurrection_n and_o also_o the_o righteousness_n which_o he_o shall_v have_v by_o he_o because_o it_o be_v not_o the_o work_n that_o make_v the_o man_n good_a but_o the_o man_n that_o make_v the_o work_n good_a for_o you_o must_v well_o know_v that_o if_o abraham_n have_v not_o believe_v the_o lord_n he_o have_v not_o be_v count_v righteous_a speak_v for_o although_o he_o be_v justify_v by_o chapter_n work_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o man_n and_o thereby_o have_v somewhat_o wherein_o to_o rejoice_v yet_o have_v he_o not_o so_o in_o no_o respect_n with_o god_n for_o what_o say_v the_o scripture_n do_v it_o not_o tell_v you_o how_o that_o abraham_n believe_v the_o lord_n and_o he_o count_v that_o unto_o he_o for_o righteousness_n so_o that_o y_z e_z work_n which_o he_o do_v have_v be_v but_o as_o dead_a work_n and_o rot_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n have_v he_o not_o believe_v the_o promise_n of_o god_n concern_v the_o seed_n that_o shall_v come_v of_o he_o again_o you_o must_v as_o well_o know_v that_o israel_n obtain_v 7._o not_o that_o which_o they_o seek_v through_o work_n but_o the_o election_n obtain_v it_o neither_o be_v they_o elect_v unto_o salvation_n because_o of_o the_o work_n which_o in_o time_n they_o will_v do_v but_o they_o be_v elect_v through_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n jesus_n accord_v as_o the_o apostle_n also_o te_v the_o phesian_n they_o be_v say_v 9_o by_o grace_n be_v you_o also_o save_v through_o faith_n in_o jesus_n christ_n and_o not_o of_o work_n say_v he_o lest_o any_o man_n shall_v boast_v himself_o 11._o and_o therefore_o the_o scrip●…ure_n have_v conclude_v all_o under_o sin_n that_o so_o man_n may_v see_v plain_o how_o they_o be_v justify_v free_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o not_o through_o work_n for_o if_o it_o be_v of_o work_n than_o be_v it_o not_o of_o grace_n but_o since_o it_o be_v of_o grace_n 6._o it_o can_v not_o be_v of_o work_n as_o say_v the_o apostle_n therefore_o we_o 28._o conclude_v say_v he_o that_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v free_o through_o faith_n in_o jesus_n christ_n and_o not_o through_o work_n for_o to_o he_o that_o work_v the_o wage_n be_v not_o count_v by_o favour_n but_o by_o debt_n 9_o but_o to_o he_o that_o work_v not_o but_o believe_v on_o he_o that_o justifi_v the_o ungodly_a his_o faith_n be_v count_v for_o righteousness_n even_o as_o david_n declare_v the_o blessedness_n of_o the_o man_n unto_o who_o god_n impute_v righteousness_n without_o work_n say_v bless_a be_v they_o who_o iniquity_n be_v forgeven_v and_o who_o 6._o sin_n be_v cover_v bless_a be_v that_o man_n to_o who_o the_o lord_n impute_v not_o sin_n and_o good_a cause_n the_o holy_a prophet_n have_v so_o to_o say_v f●…r_o if_o man_n shall_v be_v reward_v according_a to_o their_o work_n or_o desert_n they_o shall_v be_v reward_v with_o everlasting_a death_n because_o the_o wage_n of_o sin_n be_v death_n and_o there_o be_v no_o 23._o man_n but_o he_o have_v sin_v and_o go_v a_o stray_n therefore_o no_o man_n 23._o but_o he_o deserve_v the_o wage_n of_o hell_n and_o death_n but_o if_o man_n do_v look_v for_o eternal_a life_n they_o must_v know_v it_o come_v as_o a_o free_a gift_n of_o god_n through_o faith_n in_o christ_n and_o not_o in_o any_o respect_n as_o a_o due_a debt_n unto_o they_o because_o of_o their_o work_n for_o as_o abraham_n receive_v not_o the_o promise_n concern_v the_o heireship_n 13._o of_o the_o world_n through_o the_o fulfil_n of_o the_o law_n but_o through_o the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n no_o more_o do_v any_o man_n receive_v the_o promise_n of_o the_o heireshyp_n of_o eternal_a life_n through_o the_o work_n 11_o which_o he_o can_v do_v but_o through_o the_o faith_n which_o he_o have_v in_o jesus_n christ._n what_o shall_v we_o say_v then_o concern_v good_a work_n shall_v we_o utter_o exclude_v they_o no_o in_o no_o wise_n for_o god_n have_v ordain_v they_o also_o even_o to_o the_o end_n that_o those_o who_o he_o 10._o have_v elect_v in_o christ_n shall_v walk_v in_o they_o but_o not_o in_o any_o respect_n for_o man_n to_o think_v that_o they_o shall_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o their_o election_n neither_o that_o they_o shall_v think_v the_o free_a gift_n of_o eternal_a life_n come_v as_o a_o due_a debt_n for_o they_o but_o in_o deed_n they_o be_v as_o most_o excellent_a fruit_n which_o shall_v always_o floorysh_v from_o those_o who_o god_n have_v elect_v according_a as_o the_o apostle_n say_v god_n have_v choose_v we_o in_o christ_n before_o the_o work_n foundation_n of_o the_o world_n to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v holy_a and_o without_o blame_n before_o he_o in_o love_n so_o than_o y_z e_z fruit_n not_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o goodness_n of_o the_o tree_n but_o the_o tree_n the_o cause_n of_o the_o goodness_n of_o the_o fruit_n it_o have_v be_v in_o vain_a i_o say_v for_o the_o apostle_n to_o look_v for_o good_a fruit_n to_o come_v from_o man_n if_o they_o have_v not_o first_o take_v care_n for_o the_o sound_n plant_v of_o the_o tree_n that_o be_v if_o they_o have_v not_o first_o teach_v man_n the_o sound_n knowledge_n of_o christ_n whereby_o they_o may_v see_v plain_o wherein_o 2._o their_o goodness_n stand_v it_o have_v profit_v their_o hearer_n nothing_o at_o all_o no_o although_o they_o shall_v have_v do_v all_o the_o good_a work_n in_o the_o world_n or_o have_v mortify_v themselves_o never_o so_o much_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o man_n because_o without_o the_o sound_n knowledge_n of_o christ_n the_o soul_n can_v not_o be_v good_a for_o i_o pray_v you_o have_v not_o the_o apostle_n paul_n as_o great_a cause_n to_o rejoice_v in_o the_o flesh_n as_o any_o man_n in_o the_o world_n if_o by_o such_o thing_n god_n will_v have_v be_v please_v yes_o in_o deed_n have_v he_o for_o you_o see_v he_o be_v 14_o circumcise_v the_o eight_o day_n &_o of_o the_o kindred_n of_o israel_n and_o of_o the_o tribe_n of_o benjamin_n and_o a_o hebrew_n of_o heber_n and_o by_o the_o law_n of_o the_o strict_a sect_n even_o a_o pharisee_fw-mi and_o also_o as_o concern_v zeal_n no_o man_n more_o fervent_a than_o he_o yea_o and_o as_o touch_v the_o righteousness_n which_o be_v by_o the_o law_n even_o unrebukeable_a and_o yet_o you_o may_v see_v that_o he_o count_v all_o these_o thing_n but_o as_o dung_n &_o dross_n in_o respect_n of_o y_fw-fr e_o excellent_a knowledge_n sake_n which_o he_o have_v find_v in_o christ_n by_o the_o which_o knowledge_n he_o 11._o be_v make_v to_o see_v that_o notwithstanding_o all_o his_o former_a righteousness_n by_o the_o law_n yet_o have_v he_o go_v to_o eternal_a destruction_n have_v he_o not_o find_v the_o righteousness_n which_o be_v through_o faith_n in_o christ_n and_o therefore_o no_o marvel_n be_v it_o though_o he_o make_v small_a account_n of_o his_o former_a righteousness_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o knowledge_n he_o have_v now_o of_o christ._n wherefore_o in_o any_o wise_n see_v that_o you_o always_o desire_v the_o same_o thing_n for_o assure_v yourself_o that_o be_v more_o worth_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n than_o all_o the_o burn_a offering_n or_o sacrifice_n in_o the_o world_n for_o so_o the_o lord_n himself_o 6._o do_v tell_v you_o therefore_o blame_v i_o not_o i_o beseech_v you_o though_o somewhat_o long_o i_o stand_v upon_o this_o point_n even_o upon_o this_o that_o the_o sound_n knowledge_n of_o christ_n for_o we_o to_o have_v be_v more_o accept_v in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n than_o all_o the_o work_n which_o we_o call_v good_a in_o the_o world_n for_o i_o pray_v you_o further_o be_v not_o cornelius_n the_o captain_n that_o heathen_a man_n a_o godly_a man_n as_o ●…nde_n well_o as_o paul_n yes_o even_a one_o who_o the_o holy_a ghost_n commend_v to_o be_v very_o devout_a to_o have_v the_o fear_n of_o god_n before_o his_o eye_n to_o pray_v unto_o he_o continual_o to_o have_v care_n to_o teach_v his_o whole_a household_n the_o like_a and_o beside_o all_o this_o to_o be_v one_o that_o give_v much_o alm_n unto_o the_o people_n and_o yet_o you_o see_v he_o be_v not_o in_o that_o case_n as_o he_o ought_v to_o be_v untyll_o such_o time_n as_o peter_n have_v make_v know_v unto_o he_o the_o lord_n jesus_n that_o so_o he_o may_v know_v that_o by_o his_o death_n and_o resurrection_n come_v
